Got the 6:1's in today. Relieving the t-case took some :beer: , oops, I meant courage. It wasn't tough. I did eat through one of the mounting holes for the long arm a little. I didn't hear anyone mention that, but it was necessary to get them gigantic gears stuffed in there.

They work great. They are sure noisy though compared to my GRSII's. Did any of you guys who have installed these notice any more gear noise than the previous t-case? I have a lot more gear noise, especially in low range. Wondering if I should worry, or just quit listening.

Hey Tusker takem out and Ill put them in my case and then will compare the noise sound good:beer: :beer:

I didn't think it was too much louder, maybe a little. Others who have ridden in my Zuk said they could hear something, I wonder if I can't hear the frequency very well?

mine are a little noiser then before. I might add some lucas oil to the case and see if that helps.

Hey Tusker......Bite Me, you bastard!!!!:flipoff2: :flipoff2: I'm going to be hatin' life turning 33's with my 4.1 and stock gears. You going up to SOR Scwafish?

My set of 6.1's quieted down after a few miles. They're still a little noisier than stock, just because everything is turning so fast in there, but it's nothing objectionable. Heck, the stock t-case in my little baby daily-driver Samurai is noisier than the 6.1's in my big Samurai! Seriously.

Mine are still noisy Tusker.....But not too loud.........Congrats! I love them too!

Thanks for the replies guys. Mine are significantly louder, but they are still turning. Can't make up my mind whether it is a gear whine or a growl (like the gear barely touching the case). Anyway, I'll run them a couple of weeks, and if they don't quiet down, I'll rip her apart and take a peak.

Yes, scwafish can't wait to get that beast on the trail. I'll pick him up at the Sac Airport friday night, and then we will go into Spider in the dark and hookup with everyone. Hope to see you there. I haven't seen you in like three years, I wish we lived closer :D

btw...what did you do with your old gears?????? :D

Tusker,
I don't get out much:D I got the rear axle on the garage floor and I'm playin' around with some leafs looking for a little more lift when loaded(the truck, not me:flipoff2: ) Fabbed up some longer bump stops and rerouting some brake lines. When I get it back together we need to hook up a have a:beer: and compair notes.

Sounds good. Maybe we could even run up to Cow Mtn. and pick scwafish up on the way. Let em know when you get it finished.
